After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, the complex system of alliances in Europe rapidly escalated tensions into World War I. Austria-Hungary, backed by Germany, issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which was supported by Russia.

The alliances that were meant to provide security instead contributed to a widespread and devastating conflict.
